Abstract
The paper aims at illustrating the results of my latest researches on the life and
coin collection of Ludovico Stanzani. The recent discovery of a plaster bust
informs us, for example, about Stanzani’s affiliation to the Freemasonry and
gives a face to his name. Some handwritten tickets accompanying his coins give
evidence of the numismatic literature used to identify the pieces – probably by
Stanzani himself or by someone who had access to his collection.
In the Appendix figures the catalogue of a group of 150 specimens, among which
Golden Horde issues and anonymous Mongol coins.
